Why I teach

Teaching and learning are at the heart of what I do. I thrive on exchanging knowledge and experiences with people of all backgrounds and skill levels. Since becoming a certified dance teacher in 2019, I’ve taught in more than five countries, both within and beyond Europe.

In addition to my dance certification, I am a certified Vinyasa Yoga teacher and Pilates instructor, and I regularly teach for the BUTIFLY Dance association in Hamburg. I’m also a guest teacher for Choreography and Cunningham technique at the Erika Klütz Schule and collaborate with Kampnagel, a leading cultural venue in Hamburg. Beyond Germany, I am regularly invited as a guest teacher for the Finnish culture association Dialogia.

I offer classes in English, German, and Spanish, aiming to create an inclusive and supportive environment.

For me, teaching is a collaborative journey—a chance to inspire and be inspired by every individual I work with.
